The Greatest Estate Designer Novels & Stories

"An asset? I’m an interior designer he won't let work, a wife he won't touch, and a woman who can't even walk across a ballroom without breaking the floorboards." "You are the sole heiress to the Davis Group," Braden corrected her, his voice low and firm. "You graduated top of your class in design, and you possess a sharp, brilliant mind. I've read your architectural critiques, Giselle. Your vision is magnificent. You are intelligent, and beneath the tears, you are exceptionally beautiful."

To Adrian, there was nothing more intoxicating than watching Lydia wield her formidable intellect. The core struggle of designing the coastal estate lay not in a lack of vision, but in the beautiful, complex confluence of their vastly different personal tastes. Lydia was a devout purist of modern, minimalist elegance. She favored clean geometric lines, raw natural textures like slate and unpolished marble, and open, unburdened spaces where the eye could rest without distraction. She wanted the estate to feel light, organic, and seamlessly integrated into the natural limestone cliffs of the Long Island shore.

The assistant’s voice trembled with barely concealed excitement. For a moment, the gloom on Timothy's face was replaced by stunned surprise. Zoe was practically a legend in the interior design industry. Three years ago, when he had just taken over the family business, he had been awestruck by the sheer brilliance and vitality of Zoe's work. He had personally traveled overseas three times, offering a staggering billion-dollar annual salary plus company shares, all to secure this top interior designer’s collaboration. But at the peak of her fame, she had suddenly announced her retirement.

Amy said with a smile, "The decoration here is fantastic!" "Yes, I fell in love with this place as soon as I came in." Jacy ran his fingers through his forehead and replied, "Ms. Sonia, the designer for the decoration of this shop is super. Well, the room is great. From the wall, the floor, to the furniture, all of these are impressively graceful and stylish." With a slight smile on her face, Sonia continued, "Well, he is the youngest designer who has won the Pritzker building prize in the world. He must be good in his job."

"I'll pass the contract to her." Daphne smirked as she left. Having linked herself to the Steele family, she needed to distance herself from the likes of Keegan. Using me as a sacrificial lamb would solve two problems at once. With the Steeles backing her, Keegan wouldn't dare retaliate against her. Soon, I was handed the contract for the "Gray Cliffs Estate." I dialed the client’s number, and a gravelly voice answered. After I introduced myself as the lead designer, I asked, "Could you describe the aesthetic you’re looking for? High-peak traditional or industrial?"

“These are some art designs for our mansions. If it's not up to your taste, we will have our designers come over immediately.” Giovanni nodded quickly, his smile wider now. “Mr. De Luca, Castellan Group has designed most of the luxury estates in this country. When people talk about dream homes, they are talking about us.” Giovanni flipped through the pages slowly. “All these designs are good.” “And new,” Mira added. “They have never been used. We don’t just bring beauty to the eyes,” she added. “We bring it to the soul.” He paused. “My problem,” he said at last, “is my wife. She is very picky.”

"That's what she thinks." She was right about being one of the best designers in the world. She was always ranked top five since the 2000s, according to Forbes. I had always admired her work, and I never dreamed of wearing her designs, but now she was standing in front of me, and I wanted to overreact, but of course. I couldn't. As the wife of Lance Kyle Russo, you had to be so damn ... different. I wouldn't want to embarrass him. We shook hands briefly. Her dimples sunk deep in her face as she spoke.

This week’s NYFW lineup has cemented Wardrobe as the most influential fashion brand in the world. When Wardrobe began, did you ever imagine reaching this level?”

“After Golden Estate fired Thomas’ ex-girlfriend, that woman sold every single detail about the company to our competitors, completely disregarding all professional conduct.” “Some of the competitors quickly changed their prices and targeted a few of our core properties, forcing us to lower our prices as well.” “Of course, this isn’t the main problem.” “Sydney seduced the top geomancy expert we hired, and got every single design drawing of the commodity houses.” “The biggest feature of Golden Estate is that our houses are practical, have good orientation, and minimum pooling. More importantly, according to the geomancy expert, every single piece of land we chose and will choose is a good pla

“The Designer of the Year award is practically yours already.” I smiled, but there was a quiet storm inside me. Five years of building an empire. Five years of watching my boys grow. Five years of healing… and five years of carefully feeding the fire of revenge that still burned in my chest. The invitation had arrived two weeks ago. The prestigious Global Luxury Awards Gala in New York was honoring me as Designer of the Year for the Twinx Collection, the very first collection I had created for my babies. It was also celebrating the fifth anniversary of House of Olwen. The world wanted to see Aurelia Cole.And I was finally ready to let them.
